“The man's desire is for the woman; but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.”

“After all, it's woman, who decide, if a man is desirable or undesirable.”

“A “shared choice” movement sees the fetus as the genes of a woman and the genes of a man; the flesh of the woman, the flesh of the man; the bone of a woman, the bone of a man; the responsibility of a woman, the responsibility of a man; the rights of a woman, the rights of a man. It desires a transition to equality.”

“A fine world in which man reproaches woman with fulfilling his heart's desire!”

“Sexual desire has to be dead as a doornail before a man and a woman can be genuinely at peace in a platonic relationship.”

“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.”

“The feeling of motherhood in a woman becomes stronger as she grows older. In fact a time comes when every man is like a son in the eyes of a woman. There is not an ounce of sexual desire left in her heart. But his stage never comes in a man…he can never free himself from sexual desires.”

“Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”

“A woman should be able to kiss a man beautifully and romantically without any desire to be either his wife or his mistress.”

“Desire, even the basest, kind, required the notion of futurity if it was ever to come off. A man without a future, a dying man, was no longer desirable. And however stupid such a reaction might have seemed, Paul knew that if the situation was ever reversed, he would feel the same way about the woman. Desire would have turned into compassion. Which is tantamount to saying that desire would vanish into thin air.”
